Lavinia Stamps "Pixie Lanterns" and Pipin the hare monochrome card

Another monochrome card from me.  I used a white card, masking off the edges with low tack tape to keep them clean.  Using Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Pixie Lanterns" and 'Pipin" the hare.

I then used a circle as a mask and edged the circle with grey ink left on my blending brush from a previous project.  I topped up the ink on the brush and added some grey to the edges of the card and to the top right hand corner.

I used a 2B pencil and a paper stub to shade the hare, lanterns, moon and to ground the hare. I then used the new Lavinia Stamps "Baroque Flower Stencil" with Versafine Cliar "Morning mist" in some of the empty areas.  

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Magic Dwells Verse" in second generation stamping as I just wanted a suspicion of the text.  Finally, I added some white splatters of Posca Pen across the surface to the card.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Prue on a starry background

I'm still feeling poorly and couldn't get back to sleep, so decided to get up and craft, making this card in the style of card my good friend Eileen Godwin creates. 

I started with the stars from the Lavinia Stamps "Words 2" stencil, using four shades of Ranger Archival inks:  Sky Blue, Chrome Yellow, Tea Rose and Vivid Chartreuse through the stencil.

Then, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Prue" the witch.  I grounded her using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" and a hill mask.

Next, I stamped the "Magic Dwells" verse stamp in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I used the same ink to edge a moon mask round the top half of the witch.

I returned to Versafine clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the birds, which are both part of the new "Ravens" stamp set.  I also stamped the paint splatters behind/under the birds using the same ink.

Finally, I added touches of white gel pen to the witch and birds and some coloured dots of Posca Pen to replicate flowers.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" - make 9

I'm still smitten and creating with the fabulous new release from Lavinia Stamps called "Coven of Curiosities" making this card.

Using one of the new "Autumn Mist" stencils with two shades of Versafine Clair inks *Baby Pink" and "Charming Pink".  I then used "Pink Peony" Ranger Archival Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp one of the witches from the older Lavinia stamp set called "Coven of the blue moon", using the same ink for theblower witch from the latest release called "Prue".

I stamped the new Lavinia "Magic Dwells" verse in "Baby Pink" Versafine Clair ink.  I then used the torn edge of a piece of paper and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink to create the landscape. I grounded the stamps using a 2B pencil, finally adding some touches of white gel pen to the witches and the paint drips.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Make 8

Yet another make, using one of the new "Coven of Curiosities" release by Lavinia Stamps.

I rummaged through my folder of prepared backgrounds and came across an orange. red and blue Brusho piece that I thought would lend itself to what I had in mind.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Book of Spells" and the sentiment that came with the book stamp.  I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Paint Splatters" stamp with Versafine Clair "Arctic" blue ink to uniform the blue Brusho area and to provide a more textured area.

Next, over the yelloe/red Brusho area, I used Versafine Clair "Summertime", orange ink to stamp the Lavinia "Magic Dwells" verse stamp.

Returning to Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the birds, which are part of the new Lavinia stamp set called "Ravens".  I also used a mini star stamp to add more stars around the ravens.

I edged the card with Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.  I used a gold coloured gel pen in the middle of the stars and on the book pages. I then used a white gel pen to add more detail to the birds.

When I first saw the cute little witches in the Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release, which is available to purchase from today, I had in my mind how I would like to create a card. This is what I had in mind an ink pad card.

My ink pad of choice for this card was the "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Ink pad.  I inked the edge of the lid and then put it down on the card.  I then painted the inner area of the square with the same ink, drying with a heat gun.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Hallowmere" sign post and "Penelope" the little witch.

I used one of the Lavinia "Hill Masks" with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to create the landscape.  While the ink was out, I added the moon/spotlight circle behind the witch uisng a mask.  

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I added some stamped foliage using the "Mini Leaf 2" stamp around the base of the signpost. I then used the same ink to stamp the "Mini Leaf Creeper" on the top right hand corner.

I added touches of black fine liner pen for shadows, a white gel pen for detail on the the dress and leaves and Posca Pens for the flowers in the foreground.  Finally stamping the "Magic Dwells" verse below the image, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink,
